The problem with that statement is something that caught me out a while back hence asking about the current state of Windows. When moving from windows powered servers to linux ones, the backups were mirrored between the two OS's ... except at that time windows was 'tidying' things by upper casing the first character of the file name. It was a couple of weeks before I realised that file I was restoring from was NOT the current data. There was an alternative with an upper case first letter ... in the same directory. At that point I switched off the windows side and committed to the linux machines, but I never worked out just why the essentially wrong file name was created. On the windows end, the file names were all lower case, but it was a windows application that transferred the files and I've seen similar problems several times on cross OS sites! -- Lester Caine - G8HFL ----------------------------- Contact - http://lsces.co.uk/wiki/?page=contact L.S.Caine Electronic Services - http://lsces.co.uk EnquirySolve - http://enquirysolve.com/ Model Engineers Digital Workshop - http://medw.co.uk Rainbow Digital Media - http://rainbowdigitalmedia.co.uk ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Transform Data into Opportunity.
